Support area
Grounding and safety
A quiet, predictable room you can come back into.
Trauma-aware support: emotional processing, grounding after a trigger, gentle embodied presence. The listening is built to be a quiet, predictable room you can come back into. The compositional posture is the most conservative in the catalogue: no headphone induction, no amplitude-modulated music, no rhythmic stimulation — anything that could read as activating is left out. The audio is one continuous held space with very small adjustments.
Who this is for
Concrete situations, not diagnoses.
After a trigger, when the body is still activated
Sitting with a difficult feeling that needs space, not solution
Re-establishing a sense of safety in the body
Grounding practice with audio support
What listening looks like
What you'll actually hear, in order.
Slow sustained drone bed, naturalistic substrate, breath-paced movement at the slowest end of the range. No headphone induction, no AM music, no isochronic content. Phases run with very small dynamic differences and very long transitions; you should feel one continuous held space, not a sequence of moves. The close phase is a long taper.
What the evidence supports
The evidence, graded honestly.
The trauma-aware composition rules in this area are drawn from clinical music-therapy practice references (Bunt & Stige 2014; Bruscia 2014) rather than from RCT-level evidence specific to audio-only interventions. We treat this as the most conservative claim posture: the composition follows clinical-practice principles, and we make no trauma-treatment claims of any kind.

Which techniques the wizard reaches for here.
Every session in this area combines the following techniques. None is mandatory; the wizard adapts based on your length, whether headphones are in, and what you said you'd like to hear. Each has its own page on /methods.
What we don't claim
Where the listening stops being our claim to make.
Soundscaper is supportive listening, not trauma therapy, not PTSD treatment, and not a substitute for trauma-informed clinical care. If trauma material is overwhelming or you're in crisis, the helpline links on /help are the right next step.
